Condition Report:
The illustrations are accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor dents and scratches due to age and use. A foot has been restored. All foots are fitted with an additional wooden piece to rave the screen. A central shell has been restored at the upper part. Some traces of old and inactive woodworm. A few minor chips all over. The tapestry is in good condition despite the usual minor restorations especially on the upper right and lower left hand corners. As visible on the illustrations the colors are slightly sun-faded. This tapestry panel has probably been adapted to the screen. Very nice model which is ready to display.
